Say Anything...

1989 · 100 min

A warm, funny, and tender coming-of-age romance with genuine emotional depth and a bittersweet edge.

Tagline
A Lloyd meets girl story.
Overview
Average student and eternal optimist Lloyd Dobler seeks to capture the heart of Diane Court, a beautiful but unattainable valedictorian classmate. He surprises just about everyone - including himself - when she returns the sentiment. However, Diane's divorced, over-protective father soon begins to disapprove of the match, and Lloyd realises that it's going to take more than just the power of love to conquer all.
